💙 It’s Anti‑Bullying Week 2025: Power for Good! Time to stand up, speak out, and build kinder communities 🌟

Bullying can happen anywhere: in schools, workplaces, online, even in organisations up and down the ladder. It affects everyone.

Here’s how we can make a difference together:
👫 Be an ally, not a bystander - if you see something, say something
🏫 In schools: encourage safe spaces, peer support, and open dialogue
💼 In workplaces & organisations: promote respect, zero tolerance, and clear reporting structures
🗣️ Share stories, challenge harmful behaviour, and support those who feel alone

Let’s work together for environments where everyone feels safe, respected, and valued 💪

The way you book GP appointments at our practice is changing from Wednesday 5th November to Total Triage. Dr Richardson explains what this will mean for Patients in this short video.

The benefits of Total Triage are:

⭐️The end of the 8:30am rush to call the practice for an appointment.

⭐️The information you provide in your eConsultation form goes directly to a GP for clinical assessment, this gives Patients the option to communicate your health concerns without speaking to a Receptionist. Evidence shows that when Patients complete the form themselves they provide more useful clinical information to the GP.

⭐️We will give you an outcome from your eConsultation by the end of the same day. This could be an appointment with a GP or another healthcare professional, but it could also be clinical advice, a prescription, a blood test, a referral to another service or one of many other outcomes.

⭐️This means all appointments are based on clinical need after a GP has clinically assessed the information you have provided.

⭐️ We encourage patients to complete the eConsultation forms themselves, however if you do not have internet access, then our Receptionists will be able to complete the form on your behalf, but they will not be able to directly book a GP appointment for you anymore. You could also ask a trusted family member, friend or carer with internet access to complete the form on your behalf if you wish.

⭐️The eConsultation form will be available during our new opening hours of 8am to 6:30pm Monday to Friday via the NHS App or our website (www.kingsbridgemedicalpractice.co.uk) or via QR codes on our reception desk. Our front door and telephones will also open at the same times.

⭐️The eConsultation form is open to both medical and administrative requests. We highly recommend using the NHS app (https://www.nhs.uk/nhs-app/) for all access to the NHS, including requesting your repeat prescriptions.

⭐️Please keep us updated with your mobile number and email address for faster communication from the practice.

⭐️Appointments with our Practice Nurses for vaccinations, dressings and long-term condition reviews such as diabetes, asthma and COPD reviews etc will continue to be booked in the traditional way - access to these is not changing.
